With a low franchise fee of $19,950, Affirmative Franchise insurance will give you an exclusive territory in one of two southern states in the United States, most notably Texas, and also the warm and sunny state of Florida, which has suffered a rain of iguanas recently, causing unusual (and uninsured) damage to cars parked under trees during a cold snap.

To succeed with the task of managing an affirmative franchise insurance franchise, you will need to understand how to manage money and finances, including managing other people's finances and investment. Affirmative Insurance offers several insurance policy types, including automotive, home owners, business, flood and general liability insurance. They will provide you with extensive training on the various types of highly technical details needed to sell these insurance products profitably and to the right people, who are qualified and good risks for your business.

Insurance is all about managing the risks of others; they pay you premiums, and your insurance carrier pays out dividends in case accidents happen. While there are many dog-eat-dog stories about insurance sales, you are selling security and peace of mind, and can rest well at night knowing that you are assisting the community in which you live the most.

In order to run this affiliated franchise opportunity, you need general experience in running businesses, and need to consider the hiring of at least three employees to do sales and office work for you. This is a business that requires the owner to have their hands in, and Affiliated provides extensive training on policy adjustment and package deals.

Affiliated insurance can work with a low overhead business model; it is the kind of work that can be done in a small or home office environment. This leads to greater quality of life for the business owner, since, like all freelancers, they only work half days and can choose which 12 hours of the day qualify as work. Because of the way this business can be run out of a home, several household expenses can be used as tax write offs, such as floor space devoted to the office, a share of the electrical bill, office furniture, and new computers and new computer software, and ongoing education expenses. In addition to this, changes in the tax code made in 2003 mean that up to $100,000 in new equipment purchased each year can be deducted from expenses. In addition to this, there's a 50% bonus write-off (increased from 30%).
